New Continental GT / GTC and New Flying Spur - Exhaust Flap - Diagnostic Trouble Code
Transaction No.: 2060432/5
Customer statement / workshop findings
Warning lamp illuminated within the Driver Instrument Panel (DIP)
“Drive system fault. Contact your Bentley dealer” (Figure 1)
Figure 1
One or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) are stored within Engine Control Modules 1 and/or 2 (Depending on model type)
P04A000: Exhaust Pressure Control Valve “B”
P04A000 / P047500: Exhaust Pressure Control Valve “A”
P14AB00: Exhaust door control unit mechanical malfunction
P049F00: Exhaust Pressure Control Valve "B”
Technical background
The root cause of Exhaust Flap Control Unit malfunction is electrical ‘shorting’ of the commutator segments, this is caused by an accumulation of
“Sludge” within the exhaust flap control unit
DTC’s are stored when the respective Control Unit does not move through its full range of motion
Production change
Exhaust Flap Control Unit grease specification updated from VIN SCBDS33S2LC080093
Should any issues be reported post the suggested VIN (SCBDS33S2LC080093) please raise a DISS query and await further instruction before
conducting any further work
Measure
Note:
Right hand exhaust - ECU1 (B1)
Left hand exhaust - ECU 2 (B2)
CAUTION: Ensure the exhaust system has fully cooled prior to working on or around it.
Using the DTC information, conduct a visual inspection of the relative Exhaust Flap Control Unit wiring harness and connector contacts
Carry out an ignition cycle whilst monitoring the operation of the left and right hand Exhaust Flaps, check for any operating issues
If an Exhaust Flap is stuck in an open, closed, partially closed position or does not achieve a full range of motion continue to follow the
instructions within this Technical Product Information (TPI) document - Figure 2
Do not monitor the position of the Exhaust Flaps whilst the engine is running
